Please upload a MIDI-OX screen showing both the ghost chick and the 'real' chick from fully open to closed, Kim.
What I found is two different kinds of ghost chicks situations:
1) The 'freak'-chick where the CC-values goes from mid-range (60-80) to near max, out of the blue.
Sounds like Kim is having these, because they are very loud.
I've found a way to fiddle the setting that seems to eliminate 'freak'-chick. Mainly raising the pedal Lowlvl to 80 or above, thus strangely decreasing the precision. My LowLvl-HighLvl field is currently just 80-159 but it's now hard for me to provoke a 'freak'-chick. Try it out.
2) The 'roll-back' chick is where the CC-values on a consistently depressed pedal, roll-back backwards a tiny bit(eg. 1-14-35-43-54-67-
65-70-86-98-113-
127).
That will produce two chick. A soft chick followed by normal chick.
When I hold my pedal still in any depressed position my CC-values flickes 1-10 point. (eg. 51-54-52-56-55-51-etc.) I guess/hope this is normal. So at medium to low speed depression, 'roll-backs' are bound to occur, when a random 'forward-flick' followed by a random 'backward-flick' overtakes the speed of closing.
To provoke the 'roll-back' chick, you need to do a medium speed closing with a soft landing (keep the heel down).
I can add an option to block a "proper chick" after a "soft chick" if they happen close together in time.
NoooOOoooo, please noooooo... This option would to my best understanding cut away the healthy part! In both cases. The soft chick is the problem, not the proper.
I hope, I can confirm a setting-strategy to eliminate the 'freak'-chick altogether.
90% of the 'roll-back' chick could be countered if there was a ChickDelay to soft chick, like there is to splash. But ofcause the 'roll-back' chick needs to be validated as a comon problem and not just special feature of my MD.
I'll post more on the topic (screens incl), whenever I get a few hours to spare.
